every time something goes viral in astronomy i’m like “wait why that one” like. you guys do know there are like billions of comets – hang on

Only thing I can think of is it saw all the talk of comets’ periods and categorized them as a women’s health topic.

actually mr maschine, there is a straightforward explanation… tissue density is a mammogram variable and there’s a breast cancer study called comet. google tends to disregard almost anything that isn’t boolean search syntax, probably discarding “list of” and “with” and ignoring the plural on “comet”
